Open up a savings account. Automatically put X amount of your paycheck aside each pay period. It does not have to be a lot. The trick for me is that I don’t even see it and if I don’t see it, it’s essentially not there.

Having a separate account that you can’t easily take money out of and having a percentage of your paycheck auto-deposit into that is a good way to start saving.

it's hard, I know, but just take 10% out of your paycheck immediately when it hits your account and Zelle or transfer it to an account that isn't as easily accessible. Savings accounts are good too, but you'd be surprised how fast it grows out of sight out of mind

Open a high yield savings account - you get an, obvs, super high interest rate, which is a great incentive to put money in there. Either direct a percentage of your paycheck in there, or transfer money in there immediately after you get paid. Great place to house your emergency fund (3-6 months of expenses) because it’s easily accessible.
There are lots of books on saving for retirement- I recommend the simple path to wealth because it’s easy to understand, required very few action items, the author crunches the numbers while he’s explaining things, and you don’t have to be someone obsessed with savings and personal finance to benefit from it, like me!
